Added DiffLines:

* In ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheChampionsChampion'', it's a good thing for the continuation of the Malfoy line that Lucius and Narcissa conceived Draco on their wedding night, because she hasn't let him touch her since, promising that she'll [[FreudianThreat remove the relevant parts]] and [[AssShove shove them into a nearby orifice]]. Since she keeps both her wand and a very sharp knife in her nightstand drawer, he takes the threat seriously.

* The Twithamptons from ''Film/UpTheFront'' have one according to Lurk:

-->'''Lurk''': Don't worry. There's no fear of ''that''.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Literature/MarriedThriceToSaltedFish'', Lin Qingyu and Lu Wancheng's ArrangedMarriage is this by necessity because Lu Wancheng is too sickly for his body to be able to withstand the vigors of sex and even if he had a healthier body, Lin Qingyu's feelings for him haven't progressed enough yet for him to be receptive to the idea of having sex with him. Lin Qingyu's following marriage to Lu Wancheng's reincarnation Gu Fuzhou also starts out sexless but then throws the "sexless" part out of the window after they finally confess their feelings to each other.

* ''Series/{{Trigonometry}}'':
** Gemma and Kieran are having trouble with their sex life starting out as his job as a paramedic puts him on night shifts, while he has to sleep during the day so they find it hard getting much time together for this. Then after he's injured, their difficulty (while he's at home recuperating) is then finding a position which won't hurt him. Later they manage to have sex in bed though, and it's solved finally after Kieran switches to day shifts.
** It turns out Nick and Carolina have been going through this too, as he helps out so little with household chores she doesn't want to have sex with him.
